"Ring of Life" is a large-scale outdoor new media lighting installation. It combines visual artistry and interactive human experience. The concept is a philosophical idea: “harmonious coexistence of heaven, earth, human”. To construct an immersive space that cross boundaries between reality and fantasy.



The ring above symbolize sky, sun or heaven. The ground LED screen symbolize earth. The moveable ball in the middle, symbolize “fruit of life”, as a bridge connecting “heaven” and “earth”. These parts complement each other, together creating a feel of grand universe, the mysterious almighty. The audience walks along the stairs into the center, a temple of light and shadow, sacred, cosmic dimension, experiencing infinite charm.



The AI technology can create up to 10 million particles of energy as a vortex. The lights change itself in many ways like density, as people move around and touch the ground, creating a responsive interaction. The Tyndall light effect aims for more tangible sense and quality.
